Baylor Shortstop & Leadoff Hitter Jack Pineda Announces Transfer To LSU

Y’all need to lay off of Thompson. This years failures will teach him lots of things moving forward. He’ll get better because that’s who he is. Sorry to say it but this guy doesn’t just have his SS spot out the gate. It gives them both someone to compete with and sharpen their skills. Success is contagious as is failure. They can feed off of each other and if one goes down or isn’t playing good, we’ll now have a different option who is a veteran player. The other guy can play second. What this does is bring more quality depth to the field and another bat to the lineup. But just stop with the Thompson replacement nonsense. That isn’t why he was brought here and I know this for a fact. In fact Thompson will be given first shot at earning his position back but both will have to earn it. That’s why he was brought here and it’s smart by JJ. He knows Thompson is a competitor so this will ramp up his competitive gears and could turn one of them into a very special player.

Anyone who thinks this isn’t an upgrade a SS is a moron!!!

As was one of the biggest weaknesses this year.

I welcome this!!!

If I am a high end recruit I must choose LSU. With Crews coming back, the level of attention from scouts is HHHUUUGGGEEE!!

Like toonces-It’s time for the hand gesture to go.

And I will trade him all day long for 2 elite starting pitchers.

Huge get. Great job Coach.

Filling a need for sure. Hope he represents well. Thanks for coming to the Box.

Can he field a simple ground ball? That’d be great for starters.

Yeah, but what was his fielding percentage??
